Thomas Barnett was the epitome of the disruptive thinker in the early 00s. His classic work, “The Pentagon’s New Map” inspired outside-the-box thinking all across government. Just the other day I was wondering what happened to Mr Barnett so I checked out his website and found that he is alive and well. He’s also still at it, taking a critical look at the world we live in and providing honest analysis on his blog. If you are interested in a different point of view on global economics and political freedom and how it effects the US, then you need to make a regular stop to read Thomas Barnett.
Over the weekend we reported on the MarineCorpsSS Facebook page. It seems that some who have served in the Marine Corps Sniper community are butthurt over the Corps’ wise choice to ban the use of the Nazi doppelsigrunen insignia of the SchuetzStaffel. Considering that the symbol is forever associated with the systematic killing, torture, and enslavement of approximately twelve million people at the hands of the SS, it’s no surprise that reasonable folks are flabbergasted at the thought of Marines wanting to identify with the device. Quite frankly it’s anti-American.
Apparently after our report, someone reported the page to Facebook, that by its own admission is, “A page dedicated to keeping the SS symbol alive and well in the Marine Scout Sniper community”. Facebook deleted the header image that featured the offending Nazi insignia. So naturally, the owners of the page have posted a retort. It’s absolutely hilarious considering the message the Nazi symbology they hold so dear sends to others. And, it pretty much outs them as the Nazi lovers they so long to be.
We didn’t out them, but is it any surprise that they were? Here are their two previous headers. Notice that their small photo lost the lightning bolts first so as to disguise their intent.
First it looked like this

At this point I am sure the group has garnered the attention of NCIS who are probably, at this very moment, perusing the fan list to see if any are still on Active Duty. Not to mention DHS, the Southern Poverty Law Center as well as the Anti-Defamation League who are all ardent anti-Nazis. Of course, the answer to this mess is simple; stop being a wannabe Nazi.

There’s a reason Über Group is our favorite rep group (yes, they are the only rep group we know, but they’re our favorite all the same) and that reason is that they represent some of the best outdoor (and tactical crossover) products in the industry. Now, they’ve added NEMO Equipment to their offerings. NEMO is well known for their innovative shelters and keep systems.
Über Group’s territory is the South Eastern US for most companies they represent but they have some additional territorial responsibilities for certain lines.
